In the (approximate) words of President Barack Obama, “Yes it can!” Finally, the ASUC has come up with a bill that would both be actually worth considering and might pass without a shit-ton of useless squabbling. (Cross your fingers … )
Now. You may be wondering to yourself, “What, pray tell, could this magical bill be, that will be cool and awesome and will save the student body thousands of needlessly spent dollars?” read more »

… NOT! Student Action swept the executive offices. Whoop-dee-freakin’ doo. Because, you know, the differences between Student Action and CalSERVE are so marked and important. And like, Will Smelko, Tu Tran, John Tran and Dani Haber were all such substantial candidates with solid platforms. Good for you, guys. Seriously. May you be somewhat less incompetent than your predecessors.
Um, yeah. Now that that’s out of the way, here’s the full list of senators (in order of most votes): read more »
As most of you probably didn’t know, yesterday the Daily Cal’s 2009 ASUC Elections Forum was held in 20 Barrows from 5 to roughly 7 p.m. In case you missed it and didn’t really want to go either—or even hear about it in any way, shape or form—the Clog will obligingly provide a rough overview of the highlights.
First, we kind of got in a little late, right as Beetle was arguing against something to do with changing that whole “1000 students to sign a recall petition” dealy. After that came up the candidates for Student Advocate to give their 2 minute spiels, followed by those for Executive VP, then Academic Affairs VP, External Affairs VP and finally President.
This fearless team of Cloggers is ready to document you/your sign-holding minion. If you’re campaigning on campus for the ASUC elections, and you accost one of us, we will whip out our cameras and ask you a few questions. You’ve been warned.
Be prepared for silly questions, and no, we won’t take your flyers. We want to meet you (or your freshman volunteer) to understand why you’ve decided to instill so much fear and anxiety in the casual Upper Sproul Plaza stroller.
Now that ASUC Senator John Moghtader has been recalled, he’s ready to get even. He still retains his seat, and Judicial Council proceedings wait on his release of the Eshleman fight video. But pal Yoni Weinberg decided to share another kind of video with the Clog.
With ASUC elections come kickoff parties. Here’s an large list of campaign kickoff events that promise free food. If you’re skilled enough/really sad, you won’t even have to buy groceries this week.
If you know of any other campaign kickoffs that have free food, please let us know in the comments section.
Wednesday, March 18
6 p.m. * John Tran (AAVP, Student Action) at Barrows Hall
* Sam Lee (Senator, APPLE Engineering/Student Action) at Barrows Hall
* Anish Gala (Senator, Unite GREEK/Student Action) at Sigma Chi. Cheesy sticks!
We’ll be prepared for anonymous comments from either party’s minions, illegal and rampant chalkings, and the incessant pesterings of ASUC hopefuls around Sather Gate.
Student Action always gets their flyers up before anyone else, and we’ve realized that for threeyears now we’ve cared enough to blog about it. Who’s the bigger loser? (Please don’t answer that.)
Above, we’ve captured a selection of flyers from Wheeler and Dwinelle halls, but we’re sure there must be read more »

Tonight, at the same time as the “surprise” Counting Crows performance, the Daily Cal hosted its annual ASUC elections forum. Candidates for the executive slate gathered ’round in the bowels of Barrows Hall to express their platforms, discuss their differences and … draw penises on the board.
In short, it was madness. We’ll leave it to the upcoming Daily Cal endorsements to pan the informational gold–but for now, the Clog is happy to give you a few memorable highlights from each part of the ridiculous (and, thankfully, brief) evening with the candidates!
